Some exciting news to finish up the year. After 4 years married, I decided to change my surname to be the same as my wife's. My wife, @AoifeRR, loves her surname. I liked mine but I didn't have quite the same attachment to it that she did.

Very excited about @figma Make working directly with your codebase! This has unlocked a lot for us internally already, and there's more to come :) Props to so many designers for their great work here: Iris, Pete, Sean B, Tom, Gui, Liam, Henry, and more. figma.com/blog/figma-make-no…

It's been hard to keep quiet about this one. So fun to work with the team on this. Direct manipulation, annotations...and loads more to come. We're only getting started.

Sat down with the Figma team to talk about craft – what is it, how do we define it, and how can you get better at it? This is part of a mini series called Blend Mode, with two other videos on the design process and users coming out in the next few weeks youtube.com/watch?v=RXQZm2ny…

Icon designers, lend me your ears! What absolutely sucks about designing and managing sets of icons today? Are there some features you would love to see in the world? The crazier the better, let's magic wand this.

Designers using UI3; how many of you have used the property labels feature? Do you find it helpful? If not, what could be better?

my first thought when I saw @figma's sidebar showing component code was, "I really hope they add a way for devs to write the code that's displayed there" — and today they launched that functionality! watch Jake give us a whirlwind tour of how it works

Jake Albaugh shows us Figma Code Connect

Figma Code Connect lets you bring your own code into Figma for copy-pasting components. Design systems engineers are gonna love this.

We've been using Code Connect with our own design system, and it's so exciting seeing design + code march closer together. This bridge means that teams at Figma by default have design files connected to our actual codebase, with no extra effort.

Still lots to do here / this is just the start, but I suspect this might be one of the most meaningful announcements we’ve shared at Figma. Looking forward to everyone’s feedback!

Updated @figma dev mode with built-in animations is an absolute game-changer. I am actually stoked to hand this file off to devs next week! #ux #uxdesign

Today marks a big milestone: Dev Mode is officially out of beta! @figma built Dev Mode with the belief that we could improve how developers and designers work together, and make it faster to go from an idea to a coded product. And this vision is already becoming a reality.
